Hello team discourse,
Do we have command line in order to move all topics of 1 category to new tag?
Do we have command line move all topics of subcategory to parent category?

2
  1. Navigate to the category with the posts you’d like to change
  2. Toggle the bulk select tool (upper left hand column header)

There are some other topics here with examples of rails commands to select a bunch of posts and do something to those posts. Since you don’t have an answer yet you might look for those.

I’ve been too busy to spend spare time on this one myself. If it’s worth money to you I could do this for you for $200 today or half that on Monday.

EDIT: Here’s a start:

 Topic.where(category_id: CURRENT_ID).update_all(category_id: NEW_ID)

You’ll want to take a backup before doing that!

Yes, instructions for doing that are here: Administrative Bulk Operations.

This is great, but it does not move the category’s thread (the default one that has the info about it) which I found odd, not to mention that I can’t find any way to actually move that topic.

When you create a category on Discourse, an “About” topic is automatically created for the category. That topic cannot be moved. You could manually copy the content of the category’s About topic to the new category’s About topic though.

I understand what you’re saying and I sorta get it, but it’s not obvious why that would be the case. It’s a topic that contains contents that arguably could be moved if I’m moving everything to a new caetgory. I had useful content in those topics and am just collapsing things down because I later discovered the limitation on nesting categories.

I’m just providing feedback so you’re aware.

Thanks! That is useful feedback. There is nothing displayed in the Discourse user interface that lets you know why the About topics can’t be moved.
